Thats fair.

But if the drinking topic ends up getting deleted we'll have to fight to the death. Lol

I can't imagine spending this much god damn mind space being angry at a video game website's rules.

I simply explained how the site enforces it. Sorry you didn't like the answer.

the reason this irks me is mostly rooted in how annoyed i am about how society views weed tbh. at least we're making excellent progress. also the hypocrisy and inconsistency, as general principles that annoy me.

This is why people have issues with the staff here. People levy legitimate criticisms, and this is the response they get.

I'm not a proponent of any drug use, but this is embarrassing. This isn't your average bad-faith troll comparing a deletion to Nazism; this is someone (who has been pretty openly targeted in the past by at least one mod, to recollection - feel free to correct me on that OP) pointing out an actual inconsistency in the rules, with comparatively grounded examples and thoughts.

Granted it's not like you're the one that decides said rules, so it's not like this discussion would probably go anywhere anyways, but surely you can give someone a better response than "lol u buttmad".

That doesn't make something moddable. It still has to be against the rules, or justified in a mod note if not explicitly in the terms

I explained the way the rule gets enforced because they were upset we moderate drug use and the response I got was people yelling at me for simply explaining it and other people trying to get the site to be even more strict on alcohol. Sorry I was a little curt in my third reply.

We have moderated people for bragging about dangerous alcohol use, it's rare someone posts something that bad, but it can happen.

Also alcohol and cigs are pretty much exceptions due to how normalized it is in society. However this line of reasoning/argument is far more likely to just get the powers to be to crack down on drinking topics than to open up more drug use discussion. So I'd probably just let it go for now and find a different place than GameFAQs to discuss drug use.
marijuana use is pretty damn normalized in America my dude

its legal in some capacity in 3/4 of states

its really damn stupid to not treat it like alcohol at this point

Discusses the illegal or recreational use of drugs
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/board_rules

like seriously
it's always been 'no discussion of recreational use of drugs'

how the fuck is this hard?

like are you people that fucking jumpy you play the hoop game with the rules?

Because we can talk about booze always and forever and it's a recreational drug, it's just legal.

I just think there is merit in the underlying spirit of the arguments, even if there's nothing that can be done on your end about it.

My thing is I'm tired of getting jerked around. Like, I'm not sure why it's so hard to admit one or more mods are gunning for me and the leads don't give a fuck. They admit it, I'll leave forever

Like for fuck sake, I got modded for a tame as fuck satirical Simpsons quote. I got modded for saying eat boogers. I got modded for calling ce annoying af. I got modded for posting a legal substance.

There's definitely a mod out for it. We could use some transparency.

Weed topics regular last long enough to purge, like 10% of posts I make about my own recreational use get moderated. Mods, be fucking honest with yourselves, it's not a priority and it's a dumbass rule from the CNET/CBS days. Has any admin brought it up to Red Ventures?

They don't care to bring it up or have it changed. People already hate to admit when they're wrong, or their traditions are outdated. Add a modicum of power, and they're never backing down. Plus it gives them an excuse to keep pouncing on a guy they hate. My accounts rarely last more than a couple of days at this point. I get bounced quicker than fucking sirmixalot. It's just stupid and blatant
